Recently with the featured snippet, Google has started displaying additional box named “People also ask”. With this box, we can have a better understanding the logic behind search engine algorithm. This will show you the related stuff to your initial query.

2. Choose the most relevant “People also ask” query

“People also ask” queries are basically a variant of your original query with just a little different search intention. Choose the one that is the most related to your query. When you choose the closely related one, you will find more queries related to it. With every selection you make you will have deeper related results and much more deep knowledge on the subject. You can go deep into the topic as the search engine will take you.

3. Find topics with below average featured snippets

There are featured snippets too that describe the page in the “People also ask” boxes. When you are digging deep into the topic, be aware of featured snippets that are below average and do not describe your page content. Search engines are not always right about everything. They just attempt to provide relevant content in the featured snippet. Being a webmaster, you should take advantage of this feature. Go through the below average content, check your content and improve it accordingly. This way you can provide a high-quality content that gives full and truthful details on the topic.

4. Make a compilation of Your “Related” Questions

You have done the deep research and now reached a point where you have started finding unrelated articles. It is time to compile all the articles related to the topic which you think are helpful for your initial question. Compile all the topics you found in the “People also ask” boxes that you found relevant in an excel sheet for future purpose.

The tool I would recommend is Moz Pro campaign (https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/rankings/add-and-manage-keywords). Include these keywords in your campaign and label them appropriately. The labels that you use should be related to the topic you select.

E.g. Suppose your blog’s niche is fashion. One topic you should write to optimize about should be fashion trends in your country. Now you have written a great article on fashion trends in your country; the label you select for your keywords can be like “Latest Fashion trends in the country” in Moz Pro campaign.

Now that you have published the article, you can report on the success of multiple keywords by selecting the label “Latest Fashion trends in the country”. If this label is successful, you will notice an increase in the rank; this means you are successful in ranking for multiple keywords.
